Guidance for Healthcare Ethics Committees

Every accredited American hospital is required to have a mechanism for handling ethical concerns; most hospitals satisfy this requirement by constituting an institutional healthcare ethics committee (HEC), a pattern which is repeated in most western countries. This text provides definitive, comprehensive guidance for members of healthcare ethics committees who find themselves confronted with ethically challenging situations. Each chapter includes learning objectives, clinical case studies and questions to stimulate discussion among committee members. Particular emphasis is given to consultation, as this often presents the greatest challenges to committee members. Each chapter stands alone as a teaching module, as well as forming part of a comprehensive volume. Written and edited by nationally and internationally recognized experts in bioethics, this is essential reading for every member of a healthcare ethics committee.

Guide for Advanced Nursing Care of the Adult with Congenital Heart Disease

The aim of this book is to provide one central resource for nurses within the adult spectrum of life-long congenital heart disease care who are seeking expert guidance for their practice, regardless of clinical setting. Over the past 50 years, advances in surgical techniques and medical therapies have drastically improved the number of congenital heart disease patients surviving into adulthood, with the result being that there are now more adults then children living with congenital heart disease. In the past three decades, recognition of this new cardiology subspecialty has given way to formalized programs, standards of care, and multidisciplinary expertise. Indeed Nursing care of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is a relatively new medical subspecialty with limited knowledge and guidance available and also an important component of the multidisciplinary care team. Nursing care of the ACHD encompasses a holistic approach to the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual wellbeing of these unique individuals across their lifespan. Understanding the intricacies for the various heterogeneous defect types, the transition from pediatric to adult care, the unique educational and self-care needs, life-events such as pregnancy/reproduction, advanced heart failure, and end-of-life care helps prepare the nurse caring for the ACHD patient. Nurses as a first point of care for the ACHD patients play a pivotal role in the education and empowerment of the ACHD patient population and provide an invaluable role in the multidisciplinary team and with this guide nurses can feel confident in the quality of the care they provide. This book aims to introduce nursing focused care to wider audiences, nurses, medical technicians, and physicians who are involved in the management and treatment of ACHD patients. Improving care and the quality of life for adult congenital heart disease patients with a multidisciplinary team-based approach, including nursing care, should be a central goal for all ACHD programs.

Guide pratique pour soutenir les personnes atteintes d'épilepsie

Ce guide pratique propose une réflexion sur le soutien à apporter aux personnes atteintes d’épilepsie. Il englobe les directives britanniques sur l’épilepsie du NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) (2012, révisées en 2019), la loi sur l’égalité (2010), la loi sur les enfants et les familles (2014), les pratiques actuelles fondées sur des données probantes et les normes des organismes de réglementation. Il s’adresse principalement aux infirmières et aux étudiantes-infirmières, en particulier à celles qui étudient les troubles de l’apprentissage, mais aussi aux services à domicile, d’accueil temporaire et d’aide à la vie quotidienne, aux écoles et aux aidants familiaux, afin de leur permettre d’offrir un soutien approprié et fondé sur des données probantes aux patients de tous âges. On estime à environ 1 200 le nombre de décès liés à l’épilepsie chaque année au Royaume-Uni. Nombre d’entre eux seraient évitables. Des cas très médiatisés ont suscité un certain émoi chez les soignants et ont conduit à un examen plus minutieux des services de soins par les organismes de réglementation. Au fil des ans, les autrices se sont vu poser les mêmes questions et ont été témoins des mêmes malentendus et erreurs de la part des personnes qui aident les épileptiques. Elles se sont donc penchées sur les points récurrents et les ressources disponibles. Il est apparu que les informations nécessaires pour combler ces lacunes sont disponibles, mais difficilement accessibles. Il existe de nombreuses informations dans le domaine public, mais la plupart d’entre elles sont factuelles, plutôt que pratiques. Cet ouvrage offre des informations et des ressources pratiques en mettant l’accent sur « ce qu’il faut faire », « comment le faire » et « qui doit le faire ». Cet ouvrage est utile pour soutenir les personnes épileptiques partout dans le monde.
